Anna Verschik offers a new perspective on how a previously
monolingual community of Russian-speakers in Estonia is rapidly
becoming bilingual after the end of the Soviet occupation in 1991.
The contact-induced change in Russian under the growing impact of
Estonian is analysed in the theoretical framework of
code-copying.
Changes in linguistic behaviour of the speakers are often a result
of intentional cultivation of non-monolingual communication
strategies and language policies, and go hand in hand with the
development of a new identity, 'Estonian Russians'.
"Emerging Bilingual Speech" is a fascinating study that will be of
interest to researchers studying language contact, language change
and bilingualism.
